I am having an issue where I cannot remain in the lobby with my friends after a match.We all return to the lobby after a match but, if I can see them in the lobby, it does not register when they ready up. I do not ready up on their screen either. Otherwise, I go back to the lobby and it says they are still in a match. The only remedy I have is leaving their lobby and waiting for an invite. I cannot re-join because it says their lobby is full on my friend's list. This happens with both of the friend's I play with. Also, I occasionally cannot load a match on my own after I return to the post-match lobby which requires me to restart the game since there is no "leave party" option.I am playing on a PS4. This issue didn't happen until after the recent update. I was playing for the last two months without issues. I am planning on removing and re-installing the game but I am looking for options before I do another big download.Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I personally don't have the issue, but am typing this on behalf of a friend who does, she has experienced the issue on both ps4 and pc, but not on xbox. Repairing the game on Origin doesn't seem to help, and the issue persists on different accounts as well.

Hello Kent,Thanks for your reply and apologies for my late one! I have gone through the basic steps of resetting my router and what not. I am not having any internet issue connections though. My connection to the Apex and PSN servers never breaks. I am using a wired connection, getting about 30 down and 3 up through my PS4.I have since tried switching my Apex server to the same one as my friends but it makes no difference. I typically play on Oregon servers and they use St.Louis (although we are all local to each other). My ping is usually around 47ms with 0% PL.I have learned that if the issue is occurring I do not see myself "ready up" in the lobby but my friends will. When they join a match, however, I will still be in the lobby with them, everybody "unready." My friends and I have pretty much given up on this working. I now just leave after every match without thinking. Maybe this gets fixed in the next update...

@butchuggin @mat0xx @EA_Kent I found a solufion for my issue, it was in the router. We have a omni in our house and for some reason it switched off bridge mode.

I deleted and re-installed the game and the issue persists.It turned out my PS4 was not current but I updated it this morning and the issue persists.I have also learned that if my friends ready up after a game they will launch a new match without me. We never see the ready up status change.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Leaving the lobby after every single match is getting annoying.Thanks.

Just finished redownload and still the same. But I can confirm that if you die and come back to lobby in under 2:30 min i think, you can queue up again with no problem. So it seems over a certain time "locks" the lobby

@V01dPlays Have you checked recent links for ports to open? From what you are saying it definitely sounds like a WiFi problem, seeing that it works at your parents.
You have not made any changes to the setup before the issue started?

@V01dPlays There is Apex specific ports to open if you missed it. They are listed a little further down on this post:

What ports have you tried opening?

I'm dealing with this issue too, my ps4 is up to date and I don't have the issue on Xbox or any other game. I'm on the Dallas server. Looking for resolution

Mine worked fine. As soon as I changed my internet to 4G Home Broadband with Optus, I have to restart my entire game after every single match.

It works fine with my 4G Optus Hot Spot from my mobile phone but not with my Huawei B818. Everyy other game is absolutely fine.

Hey everyone,
I don't know if this will help but after doing some research and messing about with modem settings I worked out if I switch DMZ on in my modem advanced settings it fixed this issue.
Fingers crossed it works for you all.

I had this issue for almost a year, I tried almost everything you can think of. I bought a new router, and it 100% fixed this problem for me.

So after months of trying to figure this out I had to get a new wifi router and that fixed it for me.
